Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Thought it was at Brents?

 

Alright. I'm driving to GA tomorrow so it should be good. Fresh oil/filter as well. It did sit with only the occasional drive about once a week while I was gone.

 

Instigators!

 

That's what I thought...
I was planning on that and Randy is bringing his air saw to cut stuff.

10am work for everyone?

 

I can do that. Can someone shoot me the address. I also need to know what blades to purchase. I heard 4 inch cutting wheel then I heard an air saw..... I'll load up my ratchets and eye protection too. Working till 3 this morning tho :/

 

PM inbound.

 

Ben, I have the air saw blades and grinder wheels, I do not have the cut-off wheels for my 4.5 inch grinder though, I believe Brent does but I am not volunteering him, just saying if we actually need them we can get them but shouldn't need. and that is the worst sentence I believe I have ever written but you get the idea

 

Yes, I have a couple spare 4.5. grinder blades available.

 

Do any of us actually work? Or do we all just sit at work with TW open, figuring out how to spend more money, make plans for mod days and trips...just saying we have a lot of activity til 1700 and then it usually tapers off.

 

Camburg are good but thats a lot of green. OEM and Bilstein shocks (or OEM nitro shocks) offer almost the same capability for 1/3 the price.

LR UCA's are also a bit cheaper than the uniball UCA's and you dont have to worry about rebuilding your UCA from mud, water, salt, etc... getting in your uniball. LR UCA's also have extra Camber/Caster adjustments for a custom alignment as you see fit. You really only need unil ball for LT, desert racing, etc... LR UCA's have extra travel to handle med travel lifts.

Camburg is def a better suspension setup, but not so much that you will see a big difference. Its up to you but I think OEM + Bilstein/Nitros shocks w/ LR UCA's will get you want you want.

What you are planning for a rear lift? Check this total lift kit out: http://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/05-and-up-tacoma/ultimate-lift-kit-for-2005-up-tacoma/

Add Bilstein 5160 remot resi shocks, OME Dakar leaf pack, and LR UCA and total cost comes out to ~$2,200.

Thats an easy prayer to answer...

Buy me a trail gear bumper and you can have mine.

Why not go the other way (switch body pannels)? Might be easier. Is the frame strait?

 

im on more during the day than night since i work 4-12

 

TW window open all day long... Lol!! After I get home, the supervision is stricter on the use of my time... :-(

That's what I was wondering... Seems simpler to do a body swap.

 

I can tell you I do nothing at school

 

Glad you didn't write my essay like that!

 

Boss was talking to me as I was typing.

 

Boing!!!!

When I worked a real job... I had MORE time for TW during the day! Had one of my 5 panels dedicated to it!!!!

Frame is straight... I was thinking about that... it would require exterior and interior swap as it is a rolling frame with front seats, dash, and steering. It is exposed to weather. Incredibly HUGE job either way!

Maybe just box a top and bed... canvass the bitch, and be done! EXOSKELETON

 

I think you'd do better to swap the body. Either way its a big job but at least its mainly swapping over and not messing with drivetrain and front diff/cv's like you'd be doing to do the conversion on your current truck.

 

I may ride down tomorrow as well...I've got nothing to do but love watching yall cut your shit up..I have a 6" Milwaukee grinder and plenty of cut off wheels if needed, also a Milwaukee hackzall, torch

 

bring da torch! for

 

Now I don't have to drive to GA on short shocks.
